Warm Wishes Penguins - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Feature

Hello! Today is a special STAMPtember surprise from Simon Says Stamp - and instead of a special collab or huge release, its a special mini release of embossing folders with coordinating dies, and a FLASH SALE (use COUPON code FAST to get discount!) on all  of them PLUS previously released embossing folders with dies! You can find them all tucked into this category HERE if you want to check out the options! I'm using one of the new sets to create this cute little card!

I started off by die cutting the Penguin Pals single die 3 times from white cardstock, then running it through the embossing folder. I then used Copic markers to carefully color the image in. I also used the embossing folder on a panel of Steel cardstock, and used the debossed side for my background. I cut a Chunky Scalloped Oval from white cardstock, then two sizes of Chunky Ovals dies - one from white cardstock, one from white glitter cardstock. On the white one, I blended Shell and Periwinkle inks and then added some white splatter. For the sentiment, I used Warm Wishes die and vellum and black cardstock. I tucked a couple of the penguins peeking out, and added a few Dazzling Clear gems to finish off! Here's a closer look:

Trinity Stamps - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

Hello again! Back today to the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations, and today's might be one of my favorites of the entire month! Trinity Stamps outdid themselves with this adorable cutie-pie set! I just wanna squish him!!!

I was inspired by a fun color combo on Pinterest, and I love how fresh and fun it is! I stamped and clear heat embossed the adorable little yeti from Confetti Yeti, and colored him in with Copic markers (colors noted below in supply list). I die cut one of the Hand-stitched Rectangles from Seashell cardstock, and from Gina K Cadet Blue cardstock. I used a Drifting Stitched Border die to trim that down to create the ground, then trimmed a bit off the Seashell panel before adhering together. That way I could make my rectangle a bit shorter and leave room for my sentiment underneath. I added a Stitched Circle cut from Creamsicle cardstock, with one side trimmed off, then added my little yeti on a Charm Spinner to make it twirl for fun! Adhered everything on an Ivory cardbase, then added a few Clear Dazzling gems and some Nuvo glitter drops on the party hat and balloons for added sparkle! Here's a closer look at all the little details:

Little Note of Thanks - Simon Says Stamp October 2026 Card Kit

Hello! I'm dropping by to share my first card using the newest October 2026 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Homespun Gratitude! This month's stamp set in the kit has some adorable doodled images that are so versatile! There is also a fun 3D embossing folder called Verdant Wreath included, and some AMAZING stitched rectangle dies that are a new favorite for me. There are so many goodies in the kit! Including colored cardstock, gems, tags, printed patterned card fronts - and lots more! There are also a couple add on sets available in the store now!

The monthly card kit has lots of perks now when you sign up for the Subscription service! There is a video HERE you can watch to learn more!

This card is clean and simple, but I feel it fits the feeling of the adorable Homespun Gratitude stamp set in the kit. I just love the cute vibes of the design! Not to mention the amazing new A2 Hand-stitched Rectangles die set - that is definitely a new favorite that I will be using a LOT! I used some of the Card Front panels in the kit - specifically the Sage, Creamsicle, and Honey cardstock - on this card. I left the main image just stamped in black and white, then stamped and die cut the sentiment with the (available separately) coordinating die, cutting it a couple extra times from Honey cardstock to offset for a shadow effect. I colored some of the Clear Dazzling gems in the kit with a Copic marker to custom match them (something I've never tried before, but so fun!). A couple thin strips of that Creamsicle cardstock at a steep angle on the Sage background are the perfect finishing touch! Here are more photos:

Pretty Pink Posh - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

Hello! I'm back with another of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations - and today's collaboration is with Pretty Pink Posh! Paulina, the founder and owner of Pretty Pink Posh is just the sweetest. She lives not that far from me, and I've had the pleasure of meeting her several times and I'm lucky enough to call her my friend. This set is one of the sweetest!

 

For this card, I thought it would be fun to use one of those little cups multiple times in different color combos! I grabbed some Concord and 9th cardstock in a fun color combo, and heat embossed the cup from Warm Heart in white on each of the colors. I also heat embossed a sentiment in white on black cardstock, then die cut them all out with the coordinating die. I grabbed my Simon Says Stamp Cheery Snowflakes embossing folder and embossed a panel of kraft cardstock, then swiped my white pigment ink over the top to make those snowflakes pop. I used a Squarevel die cut panel to ground my images, and popped everything up with foam. I used the little coordinating heart die on it's own without the stamp set to cut some tiny hearts from the same cardstock colors, and popped those up around the cups. A few Dazzling black gems in the centers of the snowflakes on the cups, a few tiny Dazzling Clear gems on some of the embossing folder snowflakes, some gel pen details, and some glittery Nuvo drops on the hearts finish this card off! Here are more photos of the finished project:

Memory Box - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

Hello! Today's set for the newest of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations is an adorable winter set from Memory Box that was so much fun to play with! This sweet little deer stole my heart, and it was so fun to put a little scene together with it!

I started off by stamping and heat embossing the deer from Stay Cozy set on watercolor paper. I watercolored the image with my Altnew watercolors in simple colors with a bright pop of pink. I also stamped and heat embossed the snowflakes and sentiment from the set, then die cut everything out. I used some pattern paper from Simple Stories Kringle & Co pattern paper pad for the background, then used A2 Stitched Arches dies to create the front panel with Rainforest cardstock, creating a frame with two dies and some sparkly white glitter cardstock. I also tucked in a couple piece of white cardstock with a torn edge to mimic snow, and popped the frame up with foam adhesive strips. I arranged everything on my card, added a few Taffy Dazzling gems, some Nuvo glitter drops on the scarf and hat, and finished off with a good wrap and bow from white twine. Here is a closer look at the finished card:

Honey Bee Stamps - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

Hello again! Can you believe it's time for yet another of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations?!? Today we are shining the spotlight on Honey Bee Designs with a unique and fun set! I couldn't choose just one of these lovely scripty frames, so I used a few to create a fun background on my card!

I started off by choosing 3 of the 4 frames in the Holly Jolly Frames set, and heat embossing them in gold on black cardstock, then die cutting them with the coordinating dies, both on the inside and outside. I cut the separate circle shape 3 times from Lipstick cardstock, and blended some Cranberry ink around the edges. After adding some black splatter to my cardbase, I arranged the frames on my card, and trimmed off the excess, then used the extra little pieces to tuck around the edges to fill those spaces a little bit, popping everything up with foam adhesive. I added those red pieces in the centers, then stamped and heat embossed the holly berry cluster 3 times, coloring with Copic markers. I added a stamped sentiment, tucked the colored images on each piece (adding some Nuvo glitter drops to the berries for a frosty effect), then finished off with lots of Dazzling Gold gems to finish off! Here are more photos of the finished card:

Gina K Designs Bold and Bright - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

Hello again! Back today with the next in line for the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations - today's is the ever popular Gina K Designs, which I feel like just means it's guaranteed to sell out. And I had so much fun going off my usual style for this card! I feel like it's giving me 80's or 90's bold color scheme. Is it just me?!?

I started off by stamping and heat embossing the beautiful large floral image from the Best Moments set. There are coordinating stencils available (AND Poly-Glaze panels if you fancy some foiling!), but since I didn't have those, I initially planned to add some color in another way. But as this card came together, I ended up leaving them simple, and I love the effect! I had the panel of black cardstock with a window cut in it from Modern Teardrops die leftover from another project, and on a whim, I pulled it out to see if I could use it. I don't think I've ever made a card with that much black cardstock on it, but I just seemed to work! I added some Gina K Sweet Corn cardstock behind it, and die cut a frame from Gina K Petunia cardstock using two of the same dies taped together. I tucked the floral in, trimming off some excess from the bottom one, then adhered that entire panel down with foam adhesive. I heat embossed a sentiment from the set in white on black cardstock and die cut it out, then die cut that same sentiment die two times from the Petunia cardstock to layer together. I adhered the stamped sentiment slightly offset, so you can see a bit of a pink shadow effect underneath - so fun! Finished off with some Taffy Dazzling Gems for some extra sparkle! Here is a closer look at all the fun shine, bold color, and detail in those florals:
